⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.75 Goodreads. 600 pp.
NEW dangerously dark & spicy mafia thriller romance with serious stalker vibes from debut author D. Lamers!
"You can run all you want, my little kitten, but you can’t outrun me."
Never tip your hand. Never show fear.
Raised the dutiful mafia princess, I played the game well. But I was willing to spill my own blood to escape an arranged marriage. When that failed, I finally fled.
Never in my darkest, deadliest dreams did I think my path to freedom would thrust me right into bloodthirsty enemy arms.
Arms and eyes made of steel. A man like no other man I’d ever known. He’d be the death of me.
If only the death of me didn’t feel so excruciatingly good.

"I cracked this book open expecting mafia drama and got a full-on dark, delicious stalker obsession that made me question all my morals (and love every second of it). Deadly Games isn’t just a mafia romance—it’s a raw, jagged, do-not-read-before-bed descent into temptation and control. And baby, I was here for it.
What hit just right:
• A heroine who fights back even when her knees are shaking
• A dark alpha who stalks, protects, and seduces like a damn predator
• Knife’s-edge tension between “I hate you” and “I need you inside me”
• Dirty talk that scorched the page
• The kind of forbidden, enemies-touching-you romance that owns your whole brain for days
This book didn’t pretend to be nice. It bit, scratched, left marks—and I devoured every dark, unhinged, addictive chapter with my breath caught in my throat and a grin on my face." (Rebel)

“Deadly Games has everything anyone could ever want in a dark Mafia romance. More than the usual two POVs (which I wasn't sure I'd like, but I'm obsessed), so many twists and turns that I couldn't predict what was going to happen next, the perfect amount of spice (thankful for the amazing plot and not just complete 🌶️), and a cliffhanger that makes me ready right now for the second book….” (Hannah Irene)

“Deadly Games reminded me of a dark mafia romance Romeo and Juliet….” (Jessie Jones)

This book burned hotter than an inferno! The plot is dark and twisted, the characters fierce and infuriating and it twists your soul in agony. I loved and loathed every single moment! Wish I knew it was to be continued... I am furious I have to wait for the next book to see what happens! Fan-bloody-tastic!!!
